Sweet Potato and Chickpea Tikka Masala Recipe

Am sweet on this Sweet Potato and Chickpea Tikka Masala because 1. it comes together oh so fast and 2. it’s damn delicious. I first made this recipe with leftover roasted sweet potato but since then I have just made this a one-pan recipe by cooking the sweet potato in the skillet. Both ways are delicious! For a variation, you can also sub in my Cashew Butter Masala for the Tikka Masala. – Chitra, creator of Brooklyn Delhi
